All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur (2020) s01e03 Episode Script
No More Mr Nice Guy
1
Kyle, tell the camera
what just happened.
- No.
- Why are you so angry?
Did you have
an incident on the way in?
No, he crashed into my car.
My parked car.
So, I was reversing like this
and he had his car just watching me
with his lights on full beam
through my windows
so I couldn't even see.
- It wasn't on full beam.
- You had your fog lights on.
And it was so dark and Winksy
your lights you had your lights
- Why was you parked there?
- Why were you reversing so slowly?
Because your lights were
flashing in my eyes and I couldn't see.
Innit? His lights were beaming
through the window?
Serge, how slow was he reversing?
Yeah, 'cos I didn't wanna do that.
You done it anyway.
No, how did you do that?
My car didn't get a scratch though.
A new era begins for Tottenham Hotspur.
The most important thing
Courage.
Honesty.
Family.
Listen to Tottenham Hotspur's stadium now.
Let's go together boys. Come on.
- Morning, boss.
- Hello.
Last night, José Mourinho
and his players travelled back from
their match against Manchester United.
They lost two-one.
The first defeat under José's leadership.
OK.
OK.
We have very bad feelings
in relation to the game yesterday.
I think you also have them.
In the game,
in many moments I felt
a group of good guys.
And I felt that you were hiding.
The attitude was not good enough.
- Yeah Sorry
- Yeah, yeah please.
For me it's all season this.
I don't understand.
I don't know if it's laziness
or just trying to shift
blame to other people,
but it's happened every game
and I don't understand how.
Everyone's scared,
"Oh, I've got to stay in my position"
and "I've got to stay here."
And,
"Wait, someone else will do it for me."
It's unacceptable.
We have to improve from this situation.
The way is enraging.
You know
On that 50-50, go and win.
On the duel, go and win.
On the second ball, go and win.
Be a bastard. Be a bastard.
I understand what he means, you know.
On the pitch we have to be bad guys
to win.
Sometimes we are too nice
on the pitch as well.
They beat us on attitude.
OK. So no more sadness.
Look forward to the next
and the next one is in two days.
I want to try and transform
the mentality of the players.
So, it's about keeping balance,
emotional balance
which even with defeats
you need to have
a solid team, a solid mentality,
united group.
It's the mental transformation.
So, it's not easy process.
Spurs have three league games
before Christmas.
To get back into
a Champions League position,
they need to win them all.
First of all, if you did this before,
it's because your coach stole from me.
It's my copyright in the exercise.
José splits hits squad into groups,
and turns today's training session
into a competition,
one that he'll referee.
OK. OK. Change.
It's a tried and tested exercise
designed to bring the team together.
Pink, pink.
Yellow card.
Pink.
When you have a manager like José Mourinho
walking into the dressing room,
immediately you're gonna get
some form of bounce.
And we saw that with the results.
If feels almost like, we want this manager
to come in and win something for us.
To win Take us to that next level.
But the game at Old Trafford,
that must have hurt Mourinho.
The penny was dropping.
This is the scale of the task now.
I'm seeing it unfold in front of me.
Which of these players can I rely on
when it comes down to it?
Here we go. Congrats!
Almost half the first team squad have been
at Tottenham for over five years.
You got a heart. Congrats.
Some key players' contracts
end this season.
If they don't resign,
they can leave the club
on a free transfer.
The most significant of these
is Christian Eriksen.
Why is it so difficult
to train dogs to dance?
Come on dog friends.
Because they have two left feet.
Whey!
Two left?
Whey!
Christian Eriksen to wrap it up.
Christian Eriksen makes it three.
Since the start of the Premier League,
no player has made more assists
for Spurs than Christian Eriksen.
Back to Eriksen
He's also scored 50 goals for the club.
But this summer,
he stated publicly that he wants to leave.
Consciously or subconsciously,
he will be less motivated
to play for them right now
because he's made up his mind.
Didn't sell him in the summer.
Maybe didn't have the offers they wanted,
but it's a big player to be talking
in that manner at a club like Tottenham.
It's unsettling for the rest of the squad.
They expect someone like him
to stay and sign a new contract.
How are the club gonna deal with it?
Since José Mourinho's arrival,
Christian Eriksen has not featured
in his starting eleven.
When the team needs the ball,
he moves the ball better,
the team is a little bit more fluid,
but one thing is the dynamic
and another thing is the push.
The real push, he doesn't push.
That extra desire, he's missing that.
He's missing that.
I don't know.
It's so complicated with him.
Where is he going?
I dunno. I don't know.
The problem we have with Christian,
you don't really none of us
know what the real truth is.
- No.
- Right, his agent controls everything.
His agent There's no dialogue
between the club and his agent at all.
If he's got six months left,
whether he's signed or not signed
subconsciously
it's gonna be in his head.
- Even more.
- I just
A player with six months
of contract gets a big injury
It's a risk. It's a risk.
- I don't know. I don't know.
- It's a difficult one, I do agree.
In the news, I've been rumoured
about a thousand clubs
in my career and some of them
I've never even heard of.
Mind you,
they talk about you as an object.
Its, uh, "You're gonna go here."
"You're gonna go there."
"You're gonna be paid that"
And this is how it goes.
It's the only business
in the world
where you're allowed to write
whatever you want
and there's no consequences.
Football in terms is just public
so you can say whatever you want.
A football career is short.
I guess in football you can only follow.
'Till I have anything official
rather than hypothetical
scenes and speculation,
there is not much to comment.
I always think
that it's very, very objective,
is that a player in the end
of the season who is a free agent.
Burnley, a well established
Premier League force.
José Mourinho said that his side
have conceded too many,
but it's about improving
the defensive process.
Spurs have won just three
of their last nine Premier League matches.
Today's opponents are Burnley,
a side that beat them
last time they played.
Gotta get it done boys
in the first ten minutes.
- Come on.
- Come on.
Guys, quick transition.
- Quick transition, all together.
- Let's play.
Who speaks, me or you?
- You wanna speak?
- Yes.
OK, you speak.
Come on, lads!
Get together. Come on, lads.
Let's go.
OK. It's my turn today.
Yes, fight. Yes, second balls.
Yes, pressing. Yes, intensity.
But the most important thing
is your confidence to play.
In two hours,
we are six points from
the Champions League position.
You are two hours away of your dinner,
and you have a day off tomorrow.
Fucking hell.
We don't need more motivation
to win this game than this.
All together.
Come on! Hey! Come on!
Just the one change
from that defeat at Manchester United,
Eric Dier comes in for Harry Winks.
Tanguy Ndombele
misses out with a groin strain.
On the Spurs bench
is Christian Eriksen
who's yet to start in the José era.
Spurs and their captain
Harry Kane start quickly.
Wow. What a goal!
Harry Kane, that is exceptional.
Lucas Moura has stabbed it in.
Tarkowski's under pressure
from Vertonghen.
There's general terror in the Burnley
back line when Son breaks forward
Oh, wow. What a run!
Heung-Min Son,
from inside his own half, has scored
one of the best goals
of his Spurs career.
A standing ovation in North London
for a Heung-Min Son special.
It brings a brilliant
first half to an end.
Spurs have been sizzling.
A lot of improvement.
A lot of amazing things.
But the game is not over.
They're fighters.
They go until the end.
Can we improve? We can improve.
First of all, those three points
are not in the pocket.
We need to win.
Second thing, I think the clean sheet
should be a collective objective.
A collective objective.
And even if you are the striker,
the left-winger, the right-winger
you have to participate in
in that objective.
- Come on.
- Come on, lads.
Kane still going
Brilliant goal from Kane.
Harry Kane's second. Spurs fourth.
Kane Back to Sissoko again.
Sissoko!
He's done it again, Moussa Sissoko!
First time a José Mourinho side
has scored five goals
in a game in any competition.
José's alongside me smiling.
José, smiling, you must be
absolutely thrilled with that.
Yes, I am very happy.
The result. The three points.
The clean sheet.
It was a good work
by the mental point of view.
We were much more aggressive.
We pressed better.
We won first balls.
We won duels.
Oh, Moussa Sissoko!
Oh, Moussa Siss
Heung-Min Son's goal
is the goal of the season so far.
Would you agree with that?
Because, I mean,
it is pretty special, isn't it?
As soon as when I got the ball
I tried to pass it to Dele.
I was waiting his moving.
I couldn't find him so
I tried to Yeah, let's go
and I think it's a bit luck as well
- the pitch was long and
- Man of the match?
Are you man of the match?
- No.
- We haven't made that decision, José.
We think so.
I think I'm happy to score this goal.
I think it's the best goal in my life.
Outside his own 18 yard line
when he picks up the ball,
and then he scores.
Just incredible.
I came here for meeting
Sonny from Korea.
So are you smiling,
and waving at every car?
Yes, because if I say hello and smiling
they thinking Sonny's country
is very nice person.
Son is very famous.
Every Korean person likes him.
It's, um
If a Korean person doesn't like him,
he is not Korean.
They is not Korean.
Captain of his national team,
Heung-Min Son or Sonny
is one of the most famous
people in South Korea.
I don't like to speak
about me, about them
South Koreans because people
are expecting I'm a superstar,
but, I mean, I'm not.
You can't just be a normal guy
when they're willing to fly 8,000 miles
and wait outside
the training ground for you.
Yeah, I mean,
I'm really, really grateful
when they're coming to the stadium
you know, when you see so many fans.
Of course,
I'm so proud of this when I see this.
So, it gives me a lot of energy actually.
Lot of, lot of energy,
but in South Korea
it's just normal life for me.
Move round to the next
so everyone can get through, yeah?
Sonny's goal at the weekend
was unbelievable, no?
It was incredible.
You keep watching it.
It's unbelievable how he
It was incredible.
almost the whole team tried
to stop him and he still got through.
Incredible.
And also the energy,
he ran almost the whole pitch.
- But it was good to win in style.
- Yeah.
The win over Burnley is Tottenham's
biggest in the league this year.
And it's achieved
without Christian Eriksen.
- Morning, Christian. You alright?
- Hey, Chris.
If I'm not playing,
of course, I'm gonna be upset.
As a footballer,
you want to play every game.
Tottenham as a club, it's been
It's been my home for six
and a half years where I've really felt
the love coming to the training ground,
coming to the stadium,
playing the games, but, um,
ever since I said that
I want to try something new
in the stadium,
this season has been on and off.
But I get that because
they want the best for the team.
You think You think
there's definitely no way to turn him
in your conversation?
We can try once more.
- Or tell
- At least
At least then you know
you've tried everything.
Yeah, I know.
The five-nil win
is the first game Spurs
haven't conceded a goal
since José's arrival.
At the heart of defence
are two players from Belgium,
Thirty year old, Toby Alderweireld
and thirty three year old,
Jan Vertonghen.
Friends since they were teenagers,
their partnership has been a Spurs
mainstay for the past five years.
I known him for so long.
I moved to Ajax when I was 16,
he came the year after.
Went to the same school in Holland.
I know his family.
I, uh, you know, um
I know a lot about him
and he knows a lot about me,
and we're together every day.
I think playing with Jan
is more like, uh
I'm so used to it, you know.
I think I played more games
with him than without him.
Both players are now in their final year
of their contracts with Spurs,
and have been discussing
their futures with the club.
The chairman's job
is to sustain the club
and look after the club
as a whole not just
in terms of the first team
and the next Saturday's results.
There can't be any sentimentality.
I think when it comes to Jan Vertonghen,
there will be a business decision
taken as much as a football decision.
I think you've got Jan Vertonghen
and you've got Toby Alderweireld
and it may come down to
a choice of one or the other.
I think also the older a player gets,
clubs get very worried about resale value,
about the value of the assets.
So you've got to be careful
in terms of how long a deal you give him.
We're both out of contract
this summer so we've been talking
about it a lot, like every day,
we talk about our future.
You know, I think Tottenham
is a very stable club.
We've proven that over the years.
That's good. Keep going like that.
That's good. Keep that speed.
It's a nice club,
nice people working on every level,
the new stadium and playing
Champions League nearly every year.
Two, one. That'll go soon.
Half way, half way. Let's go.
You know, it's just a good place to be.
You know, I cherish
every moment when I go outside.
I enjoy being a ball player
and definitely for Spurs.
Ricardo, if I told you how much they cost,
They're wool so it must be expensive.
A guy that works with me
has the worst socks ever.
With balloons,
with balls, with big stripes
You need the cropped trousers as well.
Yeah, higher trousers.
- You have more?
- Yes.
Do you have more?
You can give me one of them.
I know Ricky since I was a little kid.
Ricky, on his teenage period, trousers.
Until now, it's true.
Until now, it's true.
Okay, what I've done.
And walking in the city like this.
Yes or no?
Until now
Now, show the pictures.
Show them the pictures.
José and his staff are preparing
the team to play against Wolves.
This is the first
of two big games before Christmas.
Both matches are against teams
that are above Spurs in the league.
We were 12 points behind the fourth,
Chelsea.
And we can be next week
three points behind them,
which give us
a complete different perspective
for the rest of the season.
We were 12 and next week we can be three.
That means that
this game against Wolves
and the next game against Chelsea
for me are the games
that can accelerate that process.
So this is seventh
versus eighth at kick off.
Wolves, this team is very aggressive.
They press. They go on 50-50s.
They win the duels.
You see the profile
of the team and it's difficult.
Lucas Moura
Oh, what a goal!
How on earth did Lucas Moura do that?
If we go there with
a Mickey Mouse mentality,
they fuck us.
Doherty, aggressive.
Traore, powerful.
Jonny Castro, bam, boom, aggressive.
Even if you are winning
and you think the game is under control,
the game is comfortable,
with this team it's not comfortable.
They can create chances.
They can score goals.
Adama Traore has rattled it
into the top corner.
And it's Wolves one, Spurs one.
This is a game
that demands a lot from you.
Demands that aggression.
Demands the attitude.
Demands that ambition that we need.
We have to win.
We can make top four.
Into the final five minutes of the ninety.
Wolves have a free kick
and a chance to grab a winning goal.
Near post and Gazzaniga
has parried it away to keep it at one-one.
Spurs hope of a win
still hangs in the air.
Spurs survive,
and José calls for
Christian Eriksen to come off the bench.
I want to play every game.
It's your own life, your own career.
You play to win.
In good and bad,
you play on the pitch as a team.
So we're into four minutes of added time.
And it will be a corner
and Eriksen will take that.
Vertonghen is unmarked
to place the header home.
Super Jan Vertonghen.
Spurs may have won it in added time.
And it's super Jan
to the rescue at the end.
His header in added time
has given José Mourinho
a second away win
in the Premier League this season.
Jan's goal propels Spurs
to fifth in the Premier League.
They are now
just three points below Chelsea.
During the game,
it just doesn't matter
how cold or wet it is,
you just go for it, you know?
But once you come out you realise
how the conditions were, you know.
Crazy.
My friend, that ball came
and I just closed my eyes
and like, headed.
Lucky that it went in.
I wouldn't say that I was struggling,
but I was having a hard time.
I had a hard time.
But it's good because now the only thing
people remember was me scoring that goal.
Jan, can I just say? Legend.
Sorry, mate. I've gotta do it.
That goal against Wolves.
- Thank you so much, top man.
- Yeah.
A few days after
their victory against Wolves,
Jan delivers supplies
to the North Enfield food bank.
With Christmas around the corner,
their help is essential
to thousands of local families.
- What's up, boss? You good?
- Very good. How are you?
Yeah, good, man.
Yeah, been coming here
for five, six years now.
I was very impressed
when I came here the first year,
you know, the work they do.
And what I like about the concept
of a food bank is whatever you do
it helps the people in a direct way and
they've got lovely people working here.
So, yeah, I started creating, like,
a certain connection with them.
- If you could sign that photograph.
- Of course.
I've got four photographs
because I've got four grand daughters.
- Oh, wow.
- And they live in Holland.
And sometimes we stay over
to have a night in Belgium.
Because you come from Sint Niklaas?
Yeah, yeah, I've passed it.
Here you go.
- Can I have your photo?
- Yeah, of course.
- Are Spurs gonna win the league?
- Hey!
Thank you so much.
Good luck against Chelsea, mate.
- Yeah, thank you.
- Smash them for us.
- Yeah.
- Cheers, guys. Thanks a lot.
See you soon.
Jan and the club have spoken a number
of times about a contract extension,
most recently, last summer
when Jan hadn't decided
where his future lay.
Because I'm reaching
a certain age now and, uh,
you know, I want security in my life.
I like to plan ahead and, uh,
it might be that in two months
I have to sell my house,
move my kids out of their school
and I don't even know where.
My daughter, she loves her school
and she can't wait to get to the
to the next year, and, uh,
I'm not even telling her
there's a chance she won't go there.
Jan's future at Spurs is still in doubt.
But the club has reached an agreement
with his friend, Toby Alderweireld.
I'm getting to a stage
in my career where I don't have
fifteen years in front of me
so I'm gonna have to choose
where I'm gonna play.
Do I see myself playing for another club?
Not really.
She has no idea what's going on.
When she's 18,
she'll say you're a good dad.
Toby's new three year deal
is worth a reputed 20 million pounds.
And will keep him
at the club until he's thirty three.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you very much.
There are all sorts of things
you have to think about, you know.
Not only yourself on the pitch,
as well for your family.
My family is happy.
I've got my second child on the way so
all these things gets me
to the moment where I decided, like,
I just wanna stay here and be part
of this team for the next couple of years.
Same again with a smile.
Big news out of Tottenham
in the last hour,
their defender, Toby Alderweireld,
has signed a new deal to 2023.
Now, he would've been able to speak
to other clubs about a free transfer
from January 1st,
his existing deal was due to expire
Always coming late to work.
Yes, the money's in the pocket.
The money's in the pocket,
you coming in late.
Can you say whether you'd like
Jan Vertonghen to follow Toby?
I think a player will sign a contract
when the clubs wants,
when the player wants,
when the family wants,
when the agent wants.
If one of these parts doesn't want,
it's very, very difficult.
Toby is an exceptional player
and obviously very happy for him.
I know there's gonna be one day
that's gonna be my last day here
or in my career
and I don't like to think about it.
I still don't know
if I'm gonna stay here or not.
That's the uncertainty,
but I still feel very good
so I'm not ready to go to places
where I can't have that ambition.
Yeah, Spurs is in my heart
and the players are in my hearts and, um,
yeah, talking in the future,
we don't know what's gonna happen.
Probably, hopefully when this comes out
I've decided and I know where I am.
In two days,
the team face London rivals, Chelsea.
That's it you pass and you wait.
And go!
A club that José Mourinho
has managed twice,
and where he won eight trophies.
Yes.
Where you feel that we are weak
because they change here
and we are weak,
maybe don't even press.
In his four weeks in charge,
this will arguably be
José's biggest test so far.
As a team, I mean,
we are a top four team.
And we want to finish top four team.
If we are organised,
it's to push them to the side
where we are closing.
I'm not seeing the first time
being so bad guys, so angry guys
but this is good to see
that we are doing this.
I try to improve every single day
and this is most important.
It's a massive game this weekend.
How they're playing now,
if they beat Chelsea,
they go above Chelsea
into the Champions League places.
It's quite a turn around.
José's old club is now managed
by one of his closest former players,
Frank Lampard.
- Good guy?
- Frank? Yeah.
Professional as a player.
The best I've ever seen.
I know it's very much
your desire to make Sunday
Tottenham versus Chelsea.
Can you get away from
José Mourinho playing his old club?
Of course I can.
For me, it's a game.
I am one hundred percent Tottenham.
I give everything I have to my club.
And my club is Tottenham, so for me,
it's so, so easy to play that game.
What will you do post-match?
Are you gonna have a drink?
Is that something you're expecting
to do with Frank afterwards?
Like I used to say,
a big hug before the game
and another big hug after the game,
that's for sure.
I will be always grateful to him
for what he gave me as a player.
I will always love the guy.
I hope he lose Sunday.
This game in the context
of how the season's gone
couldn't be much bigger.
Five games ago,
we were twelve points behind Chelsea.
Somehow we've turned it around.
When I was not under
Mourinho's management, as it were.
I was completely anti-Mourinho.
However
Now he's my manager,
I am falling in love with the guy
against my better instincts.
He is going to take us
that one step further.
Mourinho, he's great.
He's excellent.
I mean, the changes
he brought to the team,
the spirit, the team spirit
is just amazing.
Good?
Ready?
Good sleep?
José facing Chelsea.
So it's a very big game.
Battle of the bridge
will always come to mind.
I don't think he's got
any mixed loyalties at all.
He's professional and he'll be
one hundred percent behind Spurs.
And I think he'll really, really want
to get one over on his old club.
Good communication inside.
Come on, boys. Come on.
And big balls. Come on.
Lads, we know how much
this game means with Christmas, top four,
and it's a fucking London derby
so let's fucking win this game!
Come on!
Come on, boys. Let's go!
Come on you Spurs.
Come on you Spurs.
We are Tottenham.
We are Tottenham.
Super Tottenham. From the lane.
I think Chelsea will be happy
with their bright start here.
Off the ball altercation
with Kovacic and Dele Alli in the middle.
Anthony Taylor's
already got the card out.
Alonso's made the run
over the top and Gazzaniga
Oh, he's swung and he's missed it.
It's a penalty kick to Chelsea.
Chelsea will go in at half time
with a two-nil lead over Spurs.
Fucking hell.
First thing,
you cope with the fucking pressure.
We are losing two-zero.
You cope with that.
You don't run away from that.
You face that.
You are losing two-nil, first thing.
Second thing is you believe.
You believe that
you are not going to lose.
You even believe that you can win.
We need to play better.
We need also to take the game
to another dimension of emotion.
Let's press them high now.
And you still have Dele
who can join in a high pressure.
And you need to score one goal.
One goal.
Even minute 80, minute 85,
one goal the game is alive.
Hey, come on, boys! Come on!
At half time,
José again brings on Christian Eriksen
in the hope he can turn the game around.
But it's not Christian
who has the biggest impact.
Back underway, two goals from Willian
is what has Chelsea
in such a commanding position here.
Clipped. Son
Good touch from Son.
And Rudiger claims he's caught
by Son after the ball had been moved on.
So they're reviewing it
for violent conduct.
And Heung-Min Son gets a red card.
It is a red card.
Spurs are down to ten.
And this tough task
just got even tougher.
How is that red?
Huh? How is that red?
Tell me please.
Shouldn't be red.
Should be yellow.
A day to forget for Spurs,
Frank Lampard with the win,
thanks to two goals from Willian.
It was definitely,
definitely my mistake.
I felt so bad. I felt
I felt first of all
very sorry for this club,
for the team mates,
for the fans who was there
who was watching
the game and support us.
I mean, I'm 27.
I shouldn't have done this kind of thing.
Because of that we lost the game.
Come on,
we have a game in three days.
- Come on, come on. Come on.
- Come on. Let's go. Let's go, guys.
Come on, one month ago
we were 12 points from the fourth.
We are six now.
Come on, come on.
Come on. Come on, kid.
The FA Cup is a very special cup.
We have to go with balls, with courage.
That's the most important thing
in life and in football.
Let's go together, boys.
Come on!
I wonder if Harry Kane
has got a hamstring issue here.
So this is basically as bad as it gets.
If I play well,
my life can change from there.
Kyle, tell the camera
what just happened.
- No.
- Why are you so angry?
Did you have
an incident on the way in?
No, he crashed into my car.
My parked car.
So, I was reversing like this
and he had his car just watching me
with his lights on full beam
through my windows
so I couldn't even see.
- It wasn't on full beam.
- You had your fog lights on.
And it was so dark and Winksy
your lights you had your lights
- Why was you parked there?
- Why were you reversing so slowly?
Because your lights were
flashing in my eyes and I couldn't see.
Innit? His lights were beaming
through the window?
Serge, how slow was he reversing?
Yeah, 'cos I didn't wanna do that.
You done it anyway.
No, how did you do that?
My car didn't get a scratch though.
A new era begins for Tottenham Hotspur.
The most important thing
Courage.
Honesty.
Family.
Listen to Tottenham Hotspur's stadium now.
Let's go together boys. Come on.
- Morning, boss.
- Hello.
Last night, José Mourinho
and his players travelled back from
their match against Manchester United.
They lost two-one.
The first defeat under José's leadership.
OK.
OK.
We have very bad feelings
in relation to the game yesterday.
I think you also have them.
In the game,
in many moments I felt
a group of good guys.
And I felt that you were hiding.
The attitude was not good enough.
- Yeah Sorry
- Yeah, yeah please.
For me it's all season this.
I don't understand.
I don't know if it's laziness
or just trying to shift
blame to other people,
but it's happened every game
and I don't understand how.
Everyone's scared,
"Oh, I've got to stay in my position"
and "I've got to stay here."
And,
"Wait, someone else will do it for me."
It's unacceptable.
We have to improve from this situation.
The way is enraging.
You know
On that 50-50, go and win.
On the duel, go and win.
On the second ball, go and win.
Be a bastard. Be a bastard.
I understand what he means, you know.
On the pitch we have to be bad guys
to win.
Sometimes we are too nice
on the pitch as well.
They beat us on attitude.
OK. So no more sadness.
Look forward to the next
and the next one is in two days.
I want to try and transform
the mentality of the players.
So, it's about keeping balance,
emotional balance
which even with defeats
you need to have
a solid team, a solid mentality,
united group.
It's the mental transformation.
So, it's not easy process.
Spurs have three league games
before Christmas.
To get back into
a Champions League position,
they need to win them all.
First of all, if you did this before,
it's because your coach stole from me.
It's my copyright in the exercise.
José splits hits squad into groups,
and turns today's training session
into a competition,
one that he'll referee.
OK. OK. Change.
It's a tried and tested exercise
designed to bring the team together.
Pink, pink.
Yellow card.
Pink.
When you have a manager like José Mourinho
walking into the dressing room,
immediately you're gonna get
some form of bounce.
And we saw that with the results.
If feels almost like, we want this manager
to come in and win something for us.
To win Take us to that next level.
But the game at Old Trafford,
that must have hurt Mourinho.
The penny was dropping.
This is the scale of the task now.
I'm seeing it unfold in front of me.
Which of these players can I rely on
when it comes down to it?
Here we go. Congrats!
Almost half the first team squad have been
at Tottenham for over five years.
You got a heart. Congrats.
Some key players' contracts
end this season.
If they don't resign,
they can leave the club
on a free transfer.
The most significant of these
is Christian Eriksen.
Why is it so difficult
to train dogs to dance?
Come on dog friends.
Because they have two left feet.
Whey!
Two left?
Whey!
Christian Eriksen to wrap it up.
Christian Eriksen makes it three.
Since the start of the Premier League,
no player has made more assists
for Spurs than Christian Eriksen.
Back to Eriksen
He's also scored 50 goals for the club.
But this summer,
he stated publicly that he wants to leave.
Consciously or subconsciously,
he will be less motivated
to play for them right now
because he's made up his mind.
Didn't sell him in the summer.
Maybe didn't have the offers they wanted,
but it's a big player to be talking
in that manner at a club like Tottenham.
It's unsettling for the rest of the squad.
They expect someone like him
to stay and sign a new contract.
How are the club gonna deal with it?
Since José Mourinho's arrival,
Christian Eriksen has not featured
in his starting eleven.
When the team needs the ball,
he moves the ball better,
the team is a little bit more fluid,
but one thing is the dynamic
and another thing is the push.
The real push, he doesn't push.
That extra desire, he's missing that.
He's missing that.
I don't know.
It's so complicated with him.
Where is he going?
I dunno. I don't know.
The problem we have with Christian,
you don't really none of us
know what the real truth is.
- No.
- Right, his agent controls everything.
His agent There's no dialogue
between the club and his agent at all.
If he's got six months left,
whether he's signed or not signed
subconsciously
it's gonna be in his head.
- Even more.
- I just
A player with six months
of contract gets a big injury
It's a risk. It's a risk.
- I don't know. I don't know.
- It's a difficult one, I do agree.
In the news, I've been rumoured
about a thousand clubs
in my career and some of them
I've never even heard of.
Mind you,
they talk about you as an object.
Its, uh, "You're gonna go here."
"You're gonna go there."
"You're gonna be paid that"
And this is how it goes.
It's the only business
in the world
where you're allowed to write
whatever you want
and there's no consequences.
Football in terms is just public
so you can say whatever you want.
A football career is short.
I guess in football you can only follow.
'Till I have anything official
rather than hypothetical
scenes and speculation,
there is not much to comment.
I always think
that it's very, very objective,
is that a player in the end
of the season who is a free agent.
Burnley, a well established
Premier League force.
José Mourinho said that his side
have conceded too many,
but it's about improving
the defensive process.
Spurs have won just three
of their last nine Premier League matches.
Today's opponents are Burnley,
a side that beat them
last time they played.
Gotta get it done boys
in the first ten minutes.
- Come on.
- Come on.
Guys, quick transition.
- Quick transition, all together.
- Let's play.
Who speaks, me or you?
- You wanna speak?
- Yes.
OK, you speak.
Come on, lads!
Get together. Come on, lads.
Let's go.
OK. It's my turn today.
Yes, fight. Yes, second balls.
Yes, pressing. Yes, intensity.
But the most important thing
is your confidence to play.
In two hours,
we are six points from
the Champions League position.
You are two hours away of your dinner,
and you have a day off tomorrow.
Fucking hell.
We don't need more motivation
to win this game than this.
All together.
Come on! Hey! Come on!
Just the one change
from that defeat at Manchester United,
Eric Dier comes in for Harry Winks.
Tanguy Ndombele
misses out with a groin strain.
On the Spurs bench
is Christian Eriksen
who's yet to start in the José era.
Spurs and their captain
Harry Kane start quickly.
Wow. What a goal!
Harry Kane, that is exceptional.
Lucas Moura has stabbed it in.
Tarkowski's under pressure
from Vertonghen.
There's general terror in the Burnley
back line when Son breaks forward
Oh, wow. What a run!
Heung-Min Son,
from inside his own half, has scored
one of the best goals
of his Spurs career.
A standing ovation in North London
for a Heung-Min Son special.
It brings a brilliant
first half to an end.
Spurs have been sizzling.
A lot of improvement.
A lot of amazing things.
But the game is not over.
They're fighters.
They go until the end.
Can we improve? We can improve.
First of all, those three points
are not in the pocket.
We need to win.
Second thing, I think the clean sheet
should be a collective objective.
A collective objective.
And even if you are the striker,
the left-winger, the right-winger
you have to participate in
in that objective.
- Come on.
- Come on, lads.
Kane still going
Brilliant goal from Kane.
Harry Kane's second. Spurs fourth.
Kane Back to Sissoko again.
Sissoko!
He's done it again, Moussa Sissoko!
First time a José Mourinho side
has scored five goals
in a game in any competition.
José's alongside me smiling.
José, smiling, you must be
absolutely thrilled with that.
Yes, I am very happy.
The result. The three points.
The clean sheet.
It was a good work
by the mental point of view.
We were much more aggressive.
We pressed better.
We won first balls.
We won duels.
Oh, Moussa Sissoko!
Oh, Moussa Siss
Heung-Min Son's goal
is the goal of the season so far.
Would you agree with that?
Because, I mean,
it is pretty special, isn't it?
As soon as when I got the ball
I tried to pass it to Dele.
I was waiting his moving.
I couldn't find him so
I tried to Yeah, let's go
and I think it's a bit luck as well
- the pitch was long and
- Man of the match?
Are you man of the match?
- No.
- We haven't made that decision, José.
We think so.
I think I'm happy to score this goal.
I think it's the best goal in my life.
Outside his own 18 yard line
when he picks up the ball,
and then he scores.
Just incredible.
I came here for meeting
Sonny from Korea.
So are you smiling,
and waving at every car?
Yes, because if I say hello and smiling
they thinking Sonny's country
is very nice person.
Son is very famous.
Every Korean person likes him.
It's, um
If a Korean person doesn't like him,
he is not Korean.
They is not Korean.
Captain of his national team,
Heung-Min Son or Sonny
is one of the most famous
people in South Korea.
I don't like to speak
about me, about them
South Koreans because people
are expecting I'm a superstar,
but, I mean, I'm not.
You can't just be a normal guy
when they're willing to fly 8,000 miles
and wait outside
the training ground for you.
Yeah, I mean,
I'm really, really grateful
when they're coming to the stadium
you know, when you see so many fans.
Of course,
I'm so proud of this when I see this.
So, it gives me a lot of energy actually.
Lot of, lot of energy,
but in South Korea
it's just normal life for me.
Move round to the next
so everyone can get through, yeah?
Sonny's goal at the weekend
was unbelievable, no?
It was incredible.
You keep watching it.
It's unbelievable how he
It was incredible.
almost the whole team tried
to stop him and he still got through.
Incredible.
And also the energy,
he ran almost the whole pitch.
- But it was good to win in style.
- Yeah.
The win over Burnley is Tottenham's
biggest in the league this year.
And it's achieved
without Christian Eriksen.
- Morning, Christian. You alright?
- Hey, Chris.
If I'm not playing,
of course, I'm gonna be upset.
As a footballer,
you want to play every game.
Tottenham as a club, it's been
It's been my home for six
and a half years where I've really felt
the love coming to the training ground,
coming to the stadium,
playing the games, but, um,
ever since I said that
I want to try something new
in the stadium,
this season has been on and off.
But I get that because
they want the best for the team.
You think You think
there's definitely no way to turn him
in your conversation?
We can try once more.
- Or tell
- At least
At least then you know
you've tried everything.
Yeah, I know.
The five-nil win
is the first game Spurs
haven't conceded a goal
since José's arrival.
At the heart of defence
are two players from Belgium,
Thirty year old, Toby Alderweireld
and thirty three year old,
Jan Vertonghen.
Friends since they were teenagers,
their partnership has been a Spurs
mainstay for the past five years.
I known him for so long.
I moved to Ajax when I was 16,
he came the year after.
Went to the same school in Holland.
I know his family.
I, uh, you know, um
I know a lot about him
and he knows a lot about me,
and we're together every day.
I think playing with Jan
is more like, uh
I'm so used to it, you know.
I think I played more games
with him than without him.
Both players are now in their final year
of their contracts with Spurs,
and have been discussing
their futures with the club.
The chairman's job
is to sustain the club
and look after the club
as a whole not just
in terms of the first team
and the next Saturday's results.
There can't be any sentimentality.
I think when it comes to Jan Vertonghen,
there will be a business decision
taken as much as a football decision.
I think you've got Jan Vertonghen
and you've got Toby Alderweireld
and it may come down to
a choice of one or the other.
I think also the older a player gets,
clubs get very worried about resale value,
about the value of the assets.
So you've got to be careful
in terms of how long a deal you give him.
We're both out of contract
this summer so we've been talking
about it a lot, like every day,
we talk about our future.
You know, I think Tottenham
is a very stable club.
We've proven that over the years.
That's good. Keep going like that.
That's good. Keep that speed.
It's a nice club,
nice people working on every level,
the new stadium and playing
Champions League nearly every year.
Two, one. That'll go soon.
Half way, half way. Let's go.
You know, it's just a good place to be.
You know, I cherish
every moment when I go outside.
I enjoy being a ball player
and definitely for Spurs.
Ricardo, if I told you how much they cost,
They're wool so it must be expensive.
A guy that works with me
has the worst socks ever.
With balloons,
with balls, with big stripes
You need the cropped trousers as well.
Yeah, higher trousers.
- You have more?
- Yes.
Do you have more?
You can give me one of them.
I know Ricky since I was a little kid.
Ricky, on his teenage period, trousers.
Until now, it's true.
Until now, it's true.
Okay, what I've done.
And walking in the city like this.
Yes or no?
Until now
Now, show the pictures.
Show them the pictures.
José and his staff are preparing
the team to play against Wolves.
This is the first
of two big games before Christmas.
Both matches are against teams
that are above Spurs in the league.
We were 12 points behind the fourth,
Chelsea.
And we can be next week
three points behind them,
which give us
a complete different perspective
for the rest of the season.
We were 12 and next week we can be three.
That means that
this game against Wolves
and the next game against Chelsea
for me are the games
that can accelerate that process.
So this is seventh
versus eighth at kick off.
Wolves, this team is very aggressive.
They press. They go on 50-50s.
They win the duels.
You see the profile
of the team and it's difficult.
Lucas Moura
Oh, what a goal!
How on earth did Lucas Moura do that?
If we go there with
a Mickey Mouse mentality,
they fuck us.
Doherty, aggressive.
Traore, powerful.
Jonny Castro, bam, boom, aggressive.
Even if you are winning
and you think the game is under control,
the game is comfortable,
with this team it's not comfortable.
They can create chances.
They can score goals.
Adama Traore has rattled it
into the top corner.
And it's Wolves one, Spurs one.
This is a game
that demands a lot from you.
Demands that aggression.
Demands the attitude.
Demands that ambition that we need.
We have to win.
We can make top four.
Into the final five minutes of the ninety.
Wolves have a free kick
and a chance to grab a winning goal.
Near post and Gazzaniga
has parried it away to keep it at one-one.
Spurs hope of a win
still hangs in the air.
Spurs survive,
and José calls for
Christian Eriksen to come off the bench.
I want to play every game.
It's your own life, your own career.
You play to win.
In good and bad,
you play on the pitch as a team.
So we're into four minutes of added time.
And it will be a corner
and Eriksen will take that.
Vertonghen is unmarked
to place the header home.
Super Jan Vertonghen.
Spurs may have won it in added time.
And it's super Jan
to the rescue at the end.
His header in added time
has given José Mourinho
a second away win
in the Premier League this season.
Jan's goal propels Spurs
to fifth in the Premier League.
They are now
just three points below Chelsea.
During the game,
it just doesn't matter
how cold or wet it is,
you just go for it, you know?
But once you come out you realise
how the conditions were, you know.
Crazy.
My friend, that ball came
and I just closed my eyes
and like, headed.
Lucky that it went in.
I wouldn't say that I was struggling,
but I was having a hard time.
I had a hard time.
But it's good because now the only thing
people remember was me scoring that goal.
Jan, can I just say? Legend.
Sorry, mate. I've gotta do it.
That goal against Wolves.
- Thank you so much, top man.
- Yeah.
A few days after
their victory against Wolves,
Jan delivers supplies
to the North Enfield food bank.
With Christmas around the corner,
their help is essential
to thousands of local families.
- What's up, boss? You good?
- Very good. How are you?
Yeah, good, man.
Yeah, been coming here
for five, six years now.
I was very impressed
when I came here the first year,
you know, the work they do.
And what I like about the concept
of a food bank is whatever you do
it helps the people in a direct way and
they've got lovely people working here.
So, yeah, I started creating, like,
a certain connection with them.
- If you could sign that photograph.
- Of course.
I've got four photographs
because I've got four grand daughters.
- Oh, wow.
- And they live in Holland.
And sometimes we stay over
to have a night in Belgium.
Because you come from Sint Niklaas?
Yeah, yeah, I've passed it.
Here you go.
- Can I have your photo?
- Yeah, of course.
- Are Spurs gonna win the league?
- Hey!
Thank you so much.
Good luck against Chelsea, mate.
- Yeah, thank you.
- Smash them for us.
- Yeah.
- Cheers, guys. Thanks a lot.
See you soon.
Jan and the club have spoken a number
of times about a contract extension,
most recently, last summer
when Jan hadn't decided
where his future lay.
Because I'm reaching
a certain age now and, uh,
you know, I want security in my life.
I like to plan ahead and, uh,
it might be that in two months
I have to sell my house,
move my kids out of their school
and I don't even know where.
My daughter, she loves her school
and she can't wait to get to the
to the next year, and, uh,
I'm not even telling her
there's a chance she won't go there.
Jan's future at Spurs is still in doubt.
But the club has reached an agreement
with his friend, Toby Alderweireld.
I'm getting to a stage
in my career where I don't have
fifteen years in front of me
so I'm gonna have to choose
where I'm gonna play.
Do I see myself playing for another club?
Not really.
She has no idea what's going on.
When she's 18,
she'll say you're a good dad.
Toby's new three year deal
is worth a reputed 20 million pounds.
And will keep him
at the club until he's thirty three.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you very much.
There are all sorts of things
you have to think about, you know.
Not only yourself on the pitch,
as well for your family.
My family is happy.
I've got my second child on the way so
all these things gets me
to the moment where I decided, like,
I just wanna stay here and be part
of this team for the next couple of years.
Same again with a smile.
Big news out of Tottenham
in the last hour,
their defender, Toby Alderweireld,
has signed a new deal to 2023.
Now, he would've been able to speak
to other clubs about a free transfer
from January 1st,
his existing deal was due to expire
Always coming late to work.
Yes, the money's in the pocket.
The money's in the pocket,
you coming in late.
Can you say whether you'd like
Jan Vertonghen to follow Toby?
I think a player will sign a contract
when the clubs wants,
when the player wants,
when the family wants,
when the agent wants.
If one of these parts doesn't want,
it's very, very difficult.
Toby is an exceptional player
and obviously very happy for him.
I know there's gonna be one day
that's gonna be my last day here
or in my career
and I don't like to think about it.
I still don't know
if I'm gonna stay here or not.
That's the uncertainty,
but I still feel very good
so I'm not ready to go to places
where I can't have that ambition.
Yeah, Spurs is in my heart
and the players are in my hearts and, um,
yeah, talking in the future,
we don't know what's gonna happen.
Probably, hopefully when this comes out
I've decided and I know where I am.
In two days,
the team face London rivals, Chelsea.
That's it you pass and you wait.
And go!
A club that José Mourinho
has managed twice,
and where he won eight trophies.
Yes.
Where you feel that we are weak
because they change here
and we are weak,
maybe don't even press.
In his four weeks in charge,
this will arguably be
José's biggest test so far.
As a team, I mean,
we are a top four team.
And we want to finish top four team.
If we are organised,
it's to push them to the side
where we are closing.
I'm not seeing the first time
being so bad guys, so angry guys
but this is good to see
that we are doing this.
I try to improve every single day
and this is most important.
It's a massive game this weekend.
How they're playing now,
if they beat Chelsea,
they go above Chelsea
into the Champions League places.
It's quite a turn around.
José's old club is now managed
by one of his closest former players,
Frank Lampard.
- Good guy?
- Frank? Yeah.
Professional as a player.
The best I've ever seen.
I know it's very much
your desire to make Sunday
Tottenham versus Chelsea.
Can you get away from
José Mourinho playing his old club?
Of course I can.
For me, it's a game.
I am one hundred percent Tottenham.
I give everything I have to my club.
And my club is Tottenham, so for me,
it's so, so easy to play that game.
What will you do post-match?
Are you gonna have a drink?
Is that something you're expecting
to do with Frank afterwards?
Like I used to say,
a big hug before the game
and another big hug after the game,
that's for sure.
I will be always grateful to him
for what he gave me as a player.
I will always love the guy.
I hope he lose Sunday.
This game in the context
of how the season's gone
couldn't be much bigger.
Five games ago,
we were twelve points behind Chelsea.
Somehow we've turned it around.
When I was not under
Mourinho's management, as it were.
I was completely anti-Mourinho.
However
Now he's my manager,
I am falling in love with the guy
against my better instincts.
He is going to take us
that one step further.
Mourinho, he's great.
He's excellent.
I mean, the changes
he brought to the team,
the spirit, the team spirit
is just amazing.
Good?
Ready?
Good sleep?
José facing Chelsea.
So it's a very big game.
Battle of the bridge
will always come to mind.
I don't think he's got
any mixed loyalties at all.
He's professional and he'll be
one hundred percent behind Spurs.
And I think he'll really, really want
to get one over on his old club.
Good communication inside.
Come on, boys. Come on.
And big balls. Come on.
Lads, we know how much
this game means with Christmas, top four,
and it's a fucking London derby
so let's fucking win this game!
Come on!
Come on, boys. Let's go!
Come on you Spurs.
Come on you Spurs.
We are Tottenham.
We are Tottenham.
Super Tottenham. From the lane.
I think Chelsea will be happy
with their bright start here.
Off the ball altercation
with Kovacic and Dele Alli in the middle.
Anthony Taylor's
already got the card out.
Alonso's made the run
over the top and Gazzaniga
Oh, he's swung and he's missed it.
It's a penalty kick to Chelsea.
Chelsea will go in at half time
with a two-nil lead over Spurs.
Fucking hell.
First thing,
you cope with the fucking pressure.
We are losing two-zero.
You cope with that.
You don't run away from that.
You face that.
You are losing two-nil, first thing.
Second thing is you believe.
You believe that
you are not going to lose.
You even believe that you can win.
We need to play better.
We need also to take the game
to another dimension of emotion.
Let's press them high now.
And you still have Dele
who can join in a high pressure.
And you need to score one goal.
One goal.
Even minute 80, minute 85,
one goal the game is alive.
Hey, come on, boys! Come on!
At half time,
José again brings on Christian Eriksen
in the hope he can turn the game around.
But it's not Christian
who has the biggest impact.
Back underway, two goals from Willian
is what has Chelsea
in such a commanding position here.
Clipped. Son
Good touch from Son.
And Rudiger claims he's caught
by Son after the ball had been moved on.
So they're reviewing it
for violent conduct.
And Heung-Min Son gets a red card.
It is a red card.
Spurs are down to ten.
And this tough task
just got even tougher.
How is that red?
Huh? How is that red?
Tell me please.
Shouldn't be red.
Should be yellow.
A day to forget for Spurs,
Frank Lampard with the win,
thanks to two goals from Willian.
It was definitely,
definitely my mistake.
I felt so bad. I felt
I felt first of all
very sorry for this club,
for the team mates,
for the fans who was there
who was watching
the game and support us.
I mean, I'm 27.
I shouldn't have done this kind of thing.
Because of that we lost the game.
Come on,
we have a game in three days.
- Come on, come on. Come on.
- Come on. Let's go. Let's go, guys.
Come on, one month ago
we were 12 points from the fourth.
We are six now.
Come on, come on.
Come on. Come on, kid.
The FA Cup is a very special cup.
We have to go with balls, with courage.
That's the most important thing
in life and in football.
Let's go together, boys.
Come on!
I wonder if Harry Kane
has got a hamstring issue here.
So this is basically as bad as it gets.
If I play well,
my life can change from there.
